The CrossWind consortium of oil major Shell and utility Eneco has confirmed an order to Siemens Gamesa to supply turbines for the 759MW Hollandse Kust North (HKN) offshore wind array that is slated to be commissioned in 2023.

The consortium had already lined up Siemens Gamesa as preferred turbine supplier for HKN, for which Shell and Eneco had won development and operation rights in a mid-2020 tender for subsidy-free offshore wind power.
